LAist: Carson Daly Doesn't Care About Writers or Strikes, Will Cross Picket Lines

The worst thing that could happen to Carson's career is that he is seen by an audience. So now I am starting to think that it's probably good for television in general that he crosses the picket line, so that this long national nightmare is finally taken around the back of the shed and... canceled.

I read somewhere that Carson Daly was doing this in order to save the holiday salaries of his stage/production crew. If the writing is absolutely wretched* to begin with... could this be considered a noble move? *honestly, the opening monologues are often rolled like credits, in super-fast-forward, seemingly to avoid Carson's awful delivery. Thats proof of how bad the writing is.

Apparently he's gonna wing it without writers. He sent an email asking friends and family to leave jokes on an answering machine for him to play on the air. Here's the link to the email: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1127073carson1

Wait Carson Daly thinks he can cross the picket line and think that noone will notice - or care? ha

I happened across last night's Tonight Show and was surprised to see an episode from the early 90s, with guest Tom Hanks promoting "A League of Their Own." It was amusing to hear the jokes about the upcoming Bush vs. Clinton election. Leno made a quip about the fact that the country might be better off if Barbara Bush and Hilary Clinton were running for president. Heh.
